School Bomb Plotter Wanted To Kill Jesus

Is he kidding? Does he have any idea how hard it is to get by Pearly Gates Security? It's not exactly like slipping past the roadies for Sonic Youth!

FLORENCE, South Carolina (AP) -- A teen accused of plotting to blow up his high school told police that he wanted to die, go to heaven and kill Jesus, federal authorities said Tuesday.

Prosecutors argued in a federal courtroom that the statements are an indication that 18-year-old Ryan Schallenberger needs a psychological evaluation.

The straight-A Chesterfield High School senior was arrested April 19 and faces several state and federal charges, including attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction. That charge carries a possible life sentence if he is convicted.

"His conduct is bizarre," prosecutor Buddy Bethea told Judge Thomas Rogers III, who did not immediately issue a ruling. "I think it screams out in his conduct that he be evaluated." (H/T - CNN)

"His conduct is bizarre?" Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Buddy Bethea: Master of the Obvious.
